Making a new watches

Hi RTS,

Actually not sure if you have visited one of the sponsors here but there is company in US with exactly the same mindset as you. It's Lum-tec, a relatively new watch making company in USA and like you, they want to build high quality watches (316L SS/Tungsten case, sapphire glass, super luminous dials -their forte actually but cheap movement). Their designs are pretty solid and I've just ordered some from the local distributor here. The watches are mostly less than S$1K with the chrono quartz one at only S$660. Pretty good value for money, i would say. They are very active in their forums/facebook and you can actually contribute ideas to the owner and designers. Just thought you might want to explore them first as you enter into this venture...

BTW, i have no stakes whatsoever in the company or local distributor!

How much of your monthly salary do you spend on a watch?

I just thought this would be pretty interesting to know, how obsessed are people?
For me my first watch, an Omega was about 90% of my monthly salary.
Now I'm after a Rolex it will be 150%.
Am I crazy or being too conservative?

[wolfeyes1974]

mate, maybe using annual income to calculate is easier?

[Oceanklassik]

Yes, you are crazy man! I've never touched my monthly salary for any watches I'd bought. I only depleted my entire savings for the past 10 years..

[lolex kia]

Just a relatively small portion...about as much as smoking a 20 stick pack of cigarettes per day per day.

[ruzmidah]

Most Ex watch was 50% of salary =(
Dont dare to go above that

[seiko.citizen]

Depending on what I want, if I really want something, I will go all out to get it

For me, 0% from my salary, 100% from my stock profit...
